1 R. HAhRIMAN'S visit to Ore
gon will be beneficial to Ore
gon In many ways. That he
lias decided to build a rail
road into central Oregon la the main
cause of congratulation, but aside
from that and Its Immediate results
is the Impetus to tourist travel to
Oregon, which Mr. Harrlman's re
peated visits and outJnRs and his re
newed activities .here will give in
the east. Rich people even more
than poor, are creatures of imitation.
What the biggest toad In the great
puddle of society or affairs does the
other big toads do next. Mr. Har-
riman Is not a great society man,
but he is about the biggest man of
his sort in the country and if year
after year he selects a region of Ore
gon In preference to the Adlrondacks
or Canada or California or Europe
ias a recreation ground and a buib
kner outing place, we may be sure
that many rich people will ere long
follow his example. And he says he
Will tell all his acquaintances of the
delights of southern Oregon.
1 And Oregon "has the goods." All
Visitors agree that Crater lake is
the most wonderful and admirable
thing of Its kind in the visitable
world. And Wallova lake Is not
very far behind, if tamer, in attract
lveness. And then there are the
great caves, and the mountains, and
the gorges, and the waterfalls, and
other lakes and scenic wonders with
out eDd.
But more than this, to many, there
is also the game. Deer, bears, wild
fowl, fish and other game are to
le found with Just enough effort to
make their hunting good sport, in
many of the mountain and lake re
gions of Oregon. In these respects
it Is a state of unparalleled attrac
tions. President Roosevelt spent
jtfays down in a Mississippi forest
vainly trying to bag a bear, while as
Governor Chamberlain related, one
of Mr. Harrlman's half-grown sons
shot a 300-pound bear after no great
chase the other day. Eh, Kermlt,
what do you think of that?
But to make the magnificent
southern' Oregon country available
to tourists, roads especially one to
Crater lake, must be made. Tour
ists these days will not go far afoot
or on burro-back, but only as o the
main lines of their travel In auto
mobiles. With good roads along
strategic routes, we would have tour
ists from eastern cities out in Ore
gon by thousands every summer, and
their number would steadily increase
for these main attractions will re
main perpetually. Under right laws
even the game can bo kept in plenti
ful supply. And most of ihese tour
ists would visit Ashland, and Med
forj, and Eugene, and Albany, and
Salem, and Portland, and other cit
ies of the state. Scattering the ever

Mr. nrynn'n speech Is comprehen
sive, enlightening, masterly. Prob
ably no man In the country, in the
sumo number of words, could so ful
ly, thoroughly, luridly and convinc
ingly review this subject and pro
Bent tho truth about it on Br. Brian
has done in this speech. He tells
exactly what a protective tariff Is,
how It operates, who frame the law
and why, and its results. There is
no ranting or declamation in the
speech; it Is simply a plain, compre
hensive yet concise, statement of
facts that nobody can deny and that
everybody ought to know. And once
bring this knowledge convincingly
and apprehensively home to all the
voters of the country and the high
protective tariff party would be bu
ried by millions of adverse votes.
It Is acknowledged by a local pa
per that supports Mr. Taft that all
that Mr. Bryan says about tho pro
tective tariff Is true, that it is a
robbery of the people for the.bejie
flt of a few, that Its effects are Just
what he describes, that the high
protective tariff Is the backbone of
the trusts and the source of debauch
ery of citizenship and a long train
of evils, both material and moral
but that paper Is against Mr. Bryan
because, first, the Democratic party
did not revise the tariff right when
It had the chance during Cleveland's
administration and so would not do
so now, and because the Republicans
have promised to revise the tariff
after Tafffl, election.
- As to the first of these reasons,
or excuses, while admitting that tho
Democrats did not do all that they
should have done when they had a
chance, we shall show in another
article that what is said about what
they did is as a matter of record un
true. And he must be an exceeding
ly credulous voter Indeed who will
believe that the same Republicans,
practically the same leaders, who
have so long maintained the Dlngley
tariff, and maintained that it was
Just the right things are going to re
vise the tariff in any way appre
ciably beneficial to the people. It is
indeed a "belated promise" that has
been made, one entirely out of sym
Bathy, everyone knows, with the
sentiments of the Republican lead
ers who control congress, and one
which only, childish credulity could
suppose to be sincere.
If it were really intended to do
any revising of the right sort, why
was nothing done during the past
eight, four, two years, during the
last session of congress? President
Roosevelt himself urged tha't a be-

are these: The yountr lady was board

called up Dr. Webster ai1 related to
him the ('(roumstancea. He told her
there was no danger but that sho should
be vaccinated, with which request she
compiled that evening- and went to
work tho next morning, thinking she
had done as requested.
In the afternoon the deputy health
officer called on her place of business
and ordered her very harshly to go
home and she did so. not even being al
lowed to sny a word of explanation to
her employer.
In regard to the fumigation of our
house we fear there has been some mis
understanding on the part of some. The
aeputy came at 4:30 ln the afternoon
and told us that we would have to re
main out of our house seven hours and
as wo had not had our dinner we ob
jected and told him to call the next
morning. It has always been our under
standing that after fumigation the flag
of quarantine ts raised but in this case
they wero put up aftor all the houses
were fumigated. All those emnloved
down town are. allqwed perfect freedom
except tne young lady in question.

The Tail of the Scorpion.
Pendleton, Aug. 24. To the Editor
of The Journal T. T. Geer ln his pa
per, the Pendleton Tribune, urges
Statement No. l Republican members
of thj...leislature to resign rather than
vote for George E. Chamberlain, a Dem
ocrat, for United States senator, after
the people of Oregon have, by a major
ity of 48,000 votes instructed the legis
lature to ratify the people's choice for
senator.
Mr. Geer says it would not be dishon
orable nor cowardly nor Improper for
Republicans to do this. He would pre
serve the "integrity" of the party by
committing political sillclde. He would
have the members "die" politically,
rather than commit the sacrilege of
voting for a Democrat, even though the
people have instructed them to do so.
Mr. Goer's mock-heroic attitude. In
which he advises Republicans to resign
rather than "surrender to tne enemy,"
reminds one of the old legion of the tall
of the scorpion.
It ls told of the scorpion that when
it is cornered hv an enemv and sees
all chance of escape cut off, that it has
piercing Its own brain with the tip of
its poisonous tan.
Imagine T. T. Geer thus surrounded
by tho wall of fire of the people's
choice, himself a devoted Republican,
Idolizing party above all else, despising
the "common herd," and finally rather
than submit to -the public clamor for a
profane Democrat, imagine him com
mittine: suicide, like the scorpion, by
making an Ignominious exit from polit
ical life rather than face the responsi
bilities of a legislator fearlessly.

can hardly be considered as being hon

Its editorial columns are filled daily

upon a great newspaper and a leader of

arguments the Oregonian uses to break
down our primary law, is that it con

measure they may see proper. Legis
lators are elected to represent the j.eo
ple and to enact such laws as the peo
ple may desire; or to elect whomsoever
they may desire as United States sen

to perform this duty; but It is not

Hcppncr Floods
From tho Heppner Times.
It la Indeed annoying and aggravat
ing ln the extreme to the people of
Heppner and Morrow county for this
favored community to receive so much
unsavory and unecessary advertising
every time lt rains here a little more
than the dally press thinks lt ought to.
It seems like every time a large rain
falls anywhere within 20 miles of this
city some excitable, Impetuous Individ
ual cannot rest until the dally press ls
notified that "Heppner has had another
flood, and that under the circumstances
It ls miraculous that the entire Willow
creek valley was not washed clear into
the Columbia river, and from there into
tho broad Pacific ocean."
This of course makes exciting reading
for the people on the outside, but It
works a great Injustice to tne people
of Heppner and Morrow couagy. The
report of the little freshet we had here
a few week ago, which appeared on
the front page of the dally Oregonian
in headlines that would scare a fellow
out of a treetop, was truly a "corker."
We are receiving entirely ton much of
this sort of advertising abroad, and lt
Is little wonder so many homeseekors
steer clear of Morrow county.
Heppner ls situated Just like
nine-tenths of the other towns of
eastern Oregon and eastern Washing
ton and of the entire northwest for
that matter. It is situated ln a valley,
at the Junction of several long can
yons, but the creek passing along the
eastern edge of the city has now a
good wide channel, more than enough
to carry off any volume of water that
may reasonably come down the valley.
Had tho banlte ef WHlew ork In this!
city been as free from buildings, barb
wire fences and other obstructions in
June, 1903, as they are now the flood
would have done little damage. The
people learned a valuable lesson at that
time, and have left enough channel for
the water to pass through the edge of
the city as nature intended lt should do.
Heppner Is now ln no more danger
from water snouts and melting snow
than ls the majority of the towns of
eastern Oregon, and aince the flood of
1903 our people have erected many of
the finest and most costly residence
houses to be found this aide of Port
land. There are now more homes and
more prosperous, happy and well con
tented people to be found In Heppner
than before the big flood, and com
mercial men all say It ls far the best
town of Its site on the Paclflo coast.
The people of Heppner keep off the
banks of the ereelts ln building homes
but are occupying the numerous pretty
sltea on the higher land; the magnifi
cent wheat fields and stock ranches and
alfalfa meadows and.; fruU orchards
with their millions of dollar' worth
of products are still surrounding us
on all aide; It la the richest town
and county per capita 14 the state of
Oregon; our people are all prosperous
and happy and contented.

hunters gather these aftor they are dis
carded by the birds. By that time they
are draggled, broken and worn and
would bo useless as ornaments. Be
sides they are scattered over miles of

wherever tho birds may fly. Such an
assumption is ekvirly .absurd, even if
the unnatural naturalists who deal in
red owls and pink seagulls do make it.

And what will be the result of tho
preservation of the wild birds In Ore
gon? Tt will have some effect, of course.
For one thing, lt will make the plumage
of wild swan, grebe and tern more ex
pensive, since Oregon ls rut off as ;m
export state. It will somewhat curtail
tho sale of bird plumage in this stnto
slnco some women will hesitate about
buying lt now. that the president's ac
tion has brought the Issues so clearly
before them. And tt will help to
strengthen the feeling against wearing
for personal adornment any bird plum
age for which a life has been needless
ly sacrificed.
No revolution ln sentiment or morals
comes with great suddenness. These
things are the result of long years of
education. Tet. in time, women will
come to understand these things. The
wonder ls that they have been so slow,
at least 26 years behind the times, and
have responded so feebly to the hard
work of many men for many years, who
have been trying to persuade tvornexteato
be merciful. Now. at last, wo rrcfy
hope foV a quickening of conscience and
a responsive effort on the part of tho
women of Oregon to treat this subject
from a moral standpoint.
